Where's that, in an alternate universe where everything is opposite?

More backspacing moves the tire "inboard," i.e. closer to the control arm.

Will the longer control arms stop the tires from rubbing when you turn all the way, and are you gonna run 35x12.50s?

Yes I know that im not a fuc@ tard! Just pointing out if the stock back spacing is 7 inches then 5 inches will move the tire out ,AKA away from the control arms.

I think im going to run 35 11.50 x 17 on a 17x9
currently
33 12.50 x 16 on a 16x10

Right now with the leveling kit my front tires set too far towards the cab to clear them i have to get at least an inch or so longer control arms to push my tires back to center

control arms are down right expensive and KORE dont make them for 2nd gens

Turbo20psi, what suspension, tire and wheel setup do you have? Did these control arms completely stop the rubbing?

That should make for an interesting front end alignment.

i just bought those rims a couple of days ago, and i was thinking of getting the leveling kit, did you use spacers to level it? I was wanting to go up to a 35
